This course constitutes an introduction to materials science, a major field of innovation of which applications are numerous: mobility and transportation, energy conversion and storage, information technology, health and biotechnology, the environment...

The objectives are to describe current issues in the field and, on a more fundamental level, to show the link between the chemical structure of materials and their optimized properties for targeted applications. The use of materials thus depends on an understanding of the mechanisms of synthesis, and on mastery of the processes used, which will be amply illustrated.

The course is divided into two main sections of equal importance, focusing on inorganic materials (especially oxides with remarkable properties) and functional polymers. The course is illustrated by numerous examples, enabling us to understand the importance of materials science in today's world and to grasp the challenges of tomorrow.
